Study reveals the presence of up to 370.000 nanoplastic particles per liter in bottled water, an amount well above previous estimates
The clouds over Japan reveal a very bad surprise: are microplastics there too, can they affect the climate?
Scientists have found 9 types of microplastics in the human heart, some even during surgery
No final proof, but many scientific "indications": on water in PET bottles we need to run for cover, and quickly.
We inhale invisible fibers of microplastics, in concentrations up to 28 times higher when we are indoors. It's red alert.
Sperm count more than halved in 50 years: the culprits? Chemistry and "dirty" energy sources
